    not again !! check this website prices

    i have no doubt that this is just another not trusted website, as the prices shown all what it's about
    but what makes me more angry is that why fedex, wu, and other big corperate names doesn't launch ligal files against such websites as they uses their logos on such fooling way

    lol I put in fake info to see what the checkout process was. Wire transfer or western union to China for payment options. And the following on the confirmation page:

    After finish payment , please send a payment transfer receipt copy to my email:
    nicebusinesswithyou gmail com (editted to not show up as a real address on here) and tell us your item size .
    Hope we can make many times business with you.
    Best regards!

    The email address is the funniest part

    I suggest not putting personal info on that site

    I can pretty much guarantee this website is just bogus. It's definitely a phishing attempt and should not be taken lightly. I highly discourage anyone from even viewing this website let alone enter personal details!

    i suggest nobody buy, if you put in a credit card number he or she could steal it and use it as his own.
    another thing, they cant make it up in shipping, it says FREE SHIPPING on the page! lol

    First rule of any kind of purchasing.... If it sounds too good to be true it probably is...

    Sure,,, an XO-1 for $472.00.... If you believe this, I've some beach front property in Arizona I will be more than happy to give you a good deal on...

    So being the curious one I did a little digging into their website...
    Registrant:

    China

    Registered through: GoDaddy.com, LLC (http://www.godaddy.com)
    Domain Name: RCTOYFISHINGREELS.COM

    And when you go into the checkout process, the page you put your personal information,,,, not secure! and to top that,,,, They want you to western Union a money order or wire transfer funds!!!! I would definitely avoid using that site like the plague!!!

    This site raises more red flags than anything I've seen in a while...

    China doesn't care. And you can't sue them cause their government doesn't care. Bmw lost their suit with them over the Bmw x5 knock off. What hope does anyone else have?

    That's terrible these places are like that. Someone who may be looking into getting into the hobby may stumble upon these sites and actually order from there not knowing any better.

    yeh, they are showing some "points" that indecating that thier online shop works for real, but still i'm not fully sure

    Here's thier email answer just arrived :

    [ Dear Mr
    I'm Mario from Harahap Hobby customer caring team,Yes sir, we can sell lowest than other supplier in Europe or middle eastbecause we not pay the item taxes in our country.Fell free for contacting us if you have another questions.It's our pleasure to assist you.Thank youBest Regards].

    Harap hobby

    i don't believe that taxes would make several hundereds off dollars deference!
    on the other hand, i got a feeling saying that they are might be a real buesniss shop buy not selling a real genuine products.

    I'd love to hear whether they come through with someone's order at the listed price.

    There's no recourse with those wire transfers or Western Union transfers, right?

    I wouldn't use that one EVER....

    OK,,, they take your information on an Unsecured web page, so it can be seen by others. They have nothing that give you any official verification that they are a valid online retailer since they have no SSL Certificate.

    OH and I love their payment options
    How Would You Like to Pay?
    Bank Wire Transfer
    Western Union


    Forget it!

    And that old saying still applies.... I fit sounds too good to be true it probably is... Even the domain is registered in a way that you can not easily trace them..

    But... Hee Hee Hee

    I did some of my handywork.....

    Their domain says they are hosted by NOC4HOSTS.COM in Tampa Florida.... WRONG!!!!!! They have falsified their domain registrations!!!!!!

    I traced their server, it's not with NOC4HOSTS.COM at all. Here's where their server is located.

    Hostname: velocity1.rumahweb.com
    IP Country: United States
    IP Country Code: USA
    IP Continent: North America
    IP Region: New York
    Guessed City: New York
    IP Latitude: 40.7619
    IP Longitude: -73.9763
    Organization: Rumahweb Indonesia
    ISP Provider: NOC4Hosts


    So they have No SSL, falsified their domain, and hiding... Bad idea to use them... VERY BAD

    nice work Nitronaught

    it's really something fantastic to have someone with the experties in IT here in the forum like Nitronaught. at least we all get the right trusted final words when judging over certain things.

    .... i wish if we got someone with the same knowledge in the electrical feild so he can give us a trusted point about Jang's MA review claims.
